<p>Can semifinalists be penalized at all if they declare their first-choice schools as “undecided” on the application?</p>

<p>I don’t think so. My D is putting “undecided” and sending the postcard in when she is more sure of her choice.</p>

<p>According to the article it is vital you do that to protect yourself lol.</p>

<p>Remember you can change your NM school later (to about mid-April) (the deal two years ago; doubtful they changed it, but check)</p>
